How to Use Specific Mudwires
These wire pottery tools have specific uses in a potter's process, meaning each of them could find a home in any toolkit where clay is involved.
Standard Green Mudwire
The go-to tool for pottery studios - from amateurs to professionals. The Mudwire standard green tool is designed for daily use, delivering consistently clean cuts thanks to the steel wire. Perfect for slicing clay off the wheel or through blocks of material, this tool is ideal for artists looking for a dependable, general-purpose tool for cutting, trimming, and more.
Curly Red Mudwire
The curly red tool is designed for potters who require more than just a straight slice. The curly twisted wire leaves a decorative pattern when drawn through clay, making it a favourite for ceramic artists looking to explore textural or visual effects. The curly wire has other benefits too - increasing the cutting surface area and reducing drag.
Heavy-Duty Black Mudwire
The heavy-duty black tool is for use on larger projects or tougher clay bodies and provides enhanced strength. The cable on this tool is stronger and thicker, designed to handle groggy or textured clays, providing a clean cut without bending. Durable handles maintain user comfort even under increased tension, making this wire a perfect choice to cut off large pottery projects from the wheel before firing in a kiln.
Short Orange Mudwire
The short 9" orange tool is tailored for use on smaller forms or within confined areas. It makes an excellent choice for trimming the bases of smaller projects like bowls, pots, or cups. This sculpting tool is also a space saver, perfect for classroom environments.
